Determine the desired location for mounting the stake. Hammer the stake into the ground until the flange of the stake is flush to grade. To avoid damage to the stake, place a board on top of the stake while hammering. Note: If the ground is hard and the stake is difficult to install, make a crosscut in the ground using a flat shovel.

Install Fixture to Stake

Attach the coupler onto the stake. Place the yoke mount with the fixture body onto the coupler and secure it with the hex nut. Hand tightens until snug.

Strip both leads from the fixture pigtail. Using two wire connectors(sold separately), connect the leads from the fixture bodies to the main supply cable leads.
